A modified Mask region-based convolutional neural network approach for the automated detection of archaeological sites on high-resolution light detection and ranging-derived digital elevation models in the North German Lowland

Alexander Bonhage et al.

Summary: Automated object detection in archaeology is challenging due to complex backgrounds and unclear target orientation. Current CNN techniques lack speed and accuracy, but the two-stage Mask R-CNN detector has shown promising results in object detection. By enhancing this technique with adaptive gradient method and AdaBound optimization, improved accuracy and reduced training time can be achieved for identifying archaeological sites.

Gradients of geochemical change in relic charcoal hearth soils, Northwestern Connecticut, USA

Sally Donovan et al.

Summary: The study investigated the long-term impact of charcoal production on forest soils, finding higher organic carbon and nutrient content in RCH soils compared to reference sites, while phosphorus and some trace elements were lower. Multiple charcoal-rich layers were discovered in vertical profiles, indicating repeated charcoal production events. Systematic transect sampling revealed charcoal fragments beyond 25 meters from the RCH boundary, increasing the impact area for individual RCHs by over 30 times.

Reconstructing Historical Forest Cover and Land Use Dynamics in the Northeastern United States Using Geospatial Analysis and Airborne LiDAR

Katharine M. Johnson et al.

Summary: The northeastern United States experienced extensive deforestation from the 17th to 20th centuries, primarily for European agriculture, peaking in the mid-19th century. LiDAR analysis revealed historical land-use features, such as stone walls and charcoal hearths, associated with deforestation. The study shows that LiDAR is effective in reconstructing and quantifying historical forest cover distribution and extent.
